In the saprophytic nematode test (NESA) water was used as the medium with Panagrellus spp. and Rhabditis spp. The formulation employed included 50 percent of the compound being tested, 46 percent silica, 2 percent sodium lignin sulfonate and 2 percent Pluronic L-6l (polyethylene oxide-propylene oxide adduct molecular weight about 1000).

In the parasitic nematode test (NEPA) the procedure was to add the test chemical in Formulation A to soil heavily infested with Meloidogyne spp. Then tomato plants were transplanted into the soil and allowed to grow. The root knots which formed on the roots of the plant were then measured according to a root know index based on a 0-10 scale where 10 indicates complete absence of visible knotting and 0 indicates Formulation A. The results are given on a 0 to 10 scale with 10 all roots were heavily infested (knotted) Tomato plants transplanted to the infested soil which did not contain the nemato' cide had an average root knot index of while tomato plants transplanted to soil which had been steamed to kill all nematodes had an average root knot index of 10. The term Ph The compounds were tested as pre-ernergent and postemergent herbicides at the indicated dosages in lbs/acre The results are set forth in Table 4. in the pre-emergent tests the readings are on a 0-10 scale where O is no effect and 10 is in Table 3 indicates phytotoxicity. As can be seen from Table 5 complete inhibition of seeds to germinate and emerge. The 3 some of the compounds most effective against saprophytic compounds were applied in acetone solution in both the prenematodes had a considerably lesser effect against parasitic emergent and post-emergent tests. In the post-emergent tests nematodes and vice versa. This is in accordance with the the readings are based on a 0-l0 scale when 0 is no effect and known fact that nematocide activity is not predictable. indicates all of the tests plants were killed.

The compounds Where R is lower alkyl, e.g., methyl or ethyl appear to be superior pesticides to those where R is phenyl.

The compounds having a P S linkage on the whole appear to be better pesticides than the compounds having a P O linkage.

In the tests reported in the tables, the most useful compounds were 2,2-dichlorovinyl-S-ethyl methyl thiophosphonate (nematocide and to a lesser extent soil fungicide); S-2,2,2-trichloroethyl ethyl phosphon monoisopropyl amidate (soil fungicide and to a lesser extent saprophytic nematocide); S-2,2,2-trichloroethyl-O-ethyl methyl thiophosphonate (nematocide); 8-2,2,2-trichloroethyl-S-ethyl methyl thiophosphonate (nematocide); S-2,2,2- trichloroethyl-S-ethyl ethyl thiophosphonate (nematocide); S- 2,2,2-trichloroethyl methyl thiophosphon monoisopropyl. amidate (insecticide); S-2,2,2-trichloroethy1 ethyl thiophosphon monoisopropyl amidate (insecticide and to a lesser extent saprophytic nematocide); S-2,2-dichlorovinylethyl thiophosphon monoisopropyl amidate (insecticide and to a lesser extent parasitic nematocide and plate fungicide); and S-2,2-dichlorovinyl ethyl thiophosphon monoisopropyl amidate (soil fungicide).
